Hi Tina! History was an excellent guess. The more ancient the better.

There are so many things to like about the HP books, but something I really enjoyed was how J.K. Rowling weaved her back stories. Everything had meaning. Example: Hagrid brought baby Harry to the Dursley's on a flying motorcycle. Neat right? But wasn't it even better when we learned some books later that it belonged to Sirius? In the first book, Harry speaks to the snake at the zoo. Wasn't it cool to look back on that and say, "oh yeah!" when you read CoS? There are way too many more examples to name, but I love how well J.K. Rowling did that.
I kinda guessed history, cuz you said you had a degree in Archaeology!! That's what I love about Jo's writing too! Shed odesn't leave holes in between!! So what's your fave potion and why? Mine is Polyjuice potion! And what's your fave book?

Tina.
Hey Tina! I knew someone would ask that question and I have a hard time answering. I'd have to answer all the books that gave more insight into Sirius Black or Severus Snape. But that's actually quite true. I really liked PoA for that. Then OoTP... HBP... Hmmmmm. Ugh.

Thank you and good question! Another hard one too. I would have loved to learn more about the Marauders, but of course that would not have fit due to the 7 books being from Harry's point of view. Would be sooooooo nice if J.K. Rowling would write books on them.

As for changes to the published books. Hm. Maybe I would have liked not having so much info crammed into the epilogue of DH. Of course that is because I would have liked more detail. A series of short stories that also include more of the information about the characters after DH (the things she spoke of in interviews)? I dare not wish for a book. But I hope you get the idea.
